Countries with Business Links to Trump Aren’t Part of His Ban

Donald Trump called for a suspensions of immigration from terror prone regions.
ALL of the 911 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, Lebanon.
So, you might think that those countries would be a slam dunk for the ban.
You would be wrong.


These Countries with Business Links to Trump Aren’t Part of His Immigration Ban

A little over a year ago, then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States," until the country's leadership could "figure out what is going on."
Along the campaign trail, he modified this blanket ban to a suspension of “immigration from terror-prone regions, where vetting cannot safely occur,” which he promised to enact during his first 100 days in office.

And now, a week into Trump's presidency, he has tried to make good on that promise—or, at least, partly so. A draft proposal of an executive order obtained by Bloomberg News reportedly shows that Trump is poised to suspend all entry to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries.

Notably missing from the blacklist, however, are several Muslim-majority countries where Trump has business dealings, according to Bloomberg.

While Muslim-majority countries such as Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and others are not included on the list, the omission of Turkey and Egypt may be argued as being seen at odds with Trump's definition. Both Turkey and Egypt endured high-profile terror attacks in 2016.The President has positions in two companies that may be related to business in Egypt, and has previously praised the country's autocratic leader, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. In Turkey, Trump has a licensing deal to use his name on two luxury towers in Istanbul.

Ok, then why not simply ban immigrants from countries where Trump has no business dealings and  interests?  But, hey, that might look too obvious and self-serving.

The ban was designed, from its inception as a sop to the xenophobic masses.
As such, it cannot be permitted to interfere with the Big Guy's business empire.
